FOREWORD
To achieve the target of being a global leader in the field of Technical Education,
there is some sort of time bound urgency to work quickly, massively and strongly, in
respect of National Institute of Technology, Arunachal Pradesh being an “ Institute of
National Importance” (by an Act of Parliament) and being established only in five years
back in 2010. I have therefore adopted a „B‟ plan as stated below to achieve the primary goal
of producing world class visionary engineers and exceptionally brilliant Researchers and
Innovators:
B- Plan
 Best Teaching
 Best Research
 Best Entrepreneurship & Innovation practices
 Best Services to Society
In implementing the „B‟ plan in letter and spirit, the framing of syllabi has been taken
as an important legitimate parameter. Therefore, extraordinary efforts and dedications
were directed for the last few years to frame syllabi in a framework which is perhaps
not available in the country as of today, with an Indian perspective in a Global context.
Besides attention on „B‟ plan institute has given considerable importance to the major
faults of current Technical Education while framing the syllabus. The major stumbling
blocks in Technical Education today are:
I. The present system is producing “Academic Engineers” rather than “Practical

Engineers”.
II. The present system of education makes the students to run after jobs rather than making
them competent to create jobs.
III. There is lack of initiative to implement the reality of “Imagination is more important
than knowledge”.
Taking due consideration of the findings made above, to my mind credible syllabi has
been framed in the institute in which the major innovations are introduction of:
2
I. I-Course (Industrial Course) one in each semester at least one, which is targeted to
be taught by the Industrial Expert at least up to 50% of its component.
II. Man making and service to society oriented compulsory credit courses of NCC/NSS,
values & ethics.
III. Compulsory audit course on Entrepreneurship for all branches.
IV. Many add-on courses that are (non-credit courses) to be offered in vacation to
enhance the employability of the students.
V. Many audit courses like French, German, and Chinese to enhance the
communication skill in global scale for the students.
VI. Research and imagination building courses such as Research Paper Communication.
VII. Design Course as “Creative Design”.
Further, the syllabi are framed not to fit in a given structure as we believe structure is
for syllabus and syllabus is not for structure. Therefore, as per requirement of the
courses, the structure, the credit and the contact hours have been made available in case
to case.
The syllabus is also innovative as it includes:
I. In addition to the list of text and reference books, a list of journals and magazines
for giving students a flexibility of open learning.
II. System of examination in each course is conventional examination, open book
examination and online examination.
Each course has been framed with definite objectives and learning outcomes. The
Syllabus has also identified the courses to be taught either of two models of teaching:
I. J. C. Bose model of teaching where practice is the first theory.

II. S. N. Bose model of teaching where theory is the first practice.
Besides the National Institute of Technology, Arunachal Pradesh has initiated a scheme
of simple and best teaching in which for example:
I. Instead of teaching RL, RC and RLC circuit separately, only RLC circuit will be
taught and with given conditions on RLC circuits, RL and RC circuits will be
derived and left to the students as interest building exercise.
II. Instead of teaching separately High Pass Filter, Band Pass Filter and Low Pass
Filter etc.; one circuit will be taught to derive out other circuits, on conditions by
the students.
I am firmly confident that the framed syllabus will result in incredible achievements,
accelerated growth and pretty emphatic win over any other systems and therefore my
students will not run after jobs rather jobs will run after them.
For the framing of this excellent piece of syllabus, I like to congratulate all members
of faculty, Deans and HODs in no other terms but “Sabash!”.

A. Objectives:
Advanced Fluid Mechanics is one of the major courses for graduate students in the study
of the flow of fluids. The course focuses on the internal flow in equipment, such as pipes,
power machinery, fluid machinery and vessels, etc. The relative reactions between fluids

theme of modern applied mathematics. Based on mathematical concepts of gradient,
divergence, vorticity and tensor, the basic properties normally ascribed to fluids such as
density, compressibility and dynamic viscosity will be introduced. Then general
